GPS Orienteering6.9.6 - Google Play

Get ready to revolutionize your orienteering experience with GPS Orienteering!

GPS Orienteering allows you to create and run orienteering courses, as well as participate in events. It uses the GPS in your phone to track your progress during the race and automatically punch at virtual control points, eliminating the need for physical orienteering flags. After completing the race, you can view and compare your result and track with other participants.

Premium users have the additional ability to create multiple courses and events for other users to participate in with four different course types to choose from - classic orienteering, free order orienteering, rogaining, and scatter orienteering. Premium also gives you the ability to follow runners on the map in real-time with the LiveTrack feature, analyze results by viewing and replaying tracks on the map and voice assistance giving you spoken messages when you punch, drift from straight course and more. You can also upload your track to Strava from the app.

The app will use your location in the background when you run a race to punch at control points and record your track. This is also needed if you select to share your position during a race with the LiveTrack feature. Note that this foreground service for location (location permisson) is only used when you run a race and is turned off when the race is completed or aborted.

Say goodbye to the hassle of setting up physical control points and join the GPS Orienteering community today!
